Discover fresh ways to bring new style and visual appeal to your home, all by decorating with the humble table lamp.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Table lamps often have been treated like the old maiden aunts of the lighting world, but as we will see, they\u2019ve undergone something of a makeover and are turning up in surprising roles in surprising places.<\/p>\n

Far from being stuffy and old-fashioned looking, they are showing off fresh finishes, bright colors, and beguiling textures that will delight the eye. Here then, our eight ideas for decorating with lamps.<\/p>\n

1. Most people think ceiling fixtures when planning illumination for their dining areas, but in intimate\u2014read, tight\u2014spaces a table lamp creates a caf\u00e9 ambiance, particularly when they\u2019re painted in unexpected contemporary colors.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 A nightstand lamp is a must, of course, but there\u2019s no reason not to mix and match styles and to introduce styles usually reserved for more formal spaces.<\/p>\n

3. The new table lamp seems to have the biggest impact when it\u2019s used in unexpected places. Why not integrate one into your bathroom d\u00e9cor for a touch of elegant whimsy? In this case, it\u2019s the element that seems to pull an imaginative and stylish bath together.<\/p>\n

4. Candles on a window sill are a traditional touch, but you can update convention and create a wonderfully reflective pool of light by placing a table lamp there. It signals welcome to those outside and a bright glow of companionship to those within.<\/p>\n

5. Even when they\u2019re asked to play one of their traditional roles, today\u2019s made-over table lamps give you the opportunity to turn the oh-so-familiar into a contemporary statement. A sideboard with rococo and classical design elements has been updated with a white-washed, distressed look.<\/p>\n

6. Giving the tall, sculptural lamps similarly styled base the same treatment brings both light and unity to a dining room tableau. A very modern table lamp sitting on a battered but very contemporary side table turns a sitting room design clich\u00e9 into a fresh declaration of time and place\u2014not to mention, personal taste.<\/p>\n

7. Somehow, when the eye goes to a fireplace, the mind thinks: sconces. That\u2019s certainly one way to go, but tall table lamps\u2014particularly in a matching pair\u2014are an unexpected and decidedly elegant alternative. This is one time when seeing double isn\u2019t such a bad thing.<\/p>\n

8. Similarly, a pair of matching table lamps that might usually expect to find their place on a bedroom\u2019s nightstands, look particularly strong arranged side-by-side on a low dresser. (In the setting above, two lamps serve as sculptural art.) With all that extra light, there\u2019ll be no more fumbling for lost earrings or keys!<\/p>\n
